Edinburgh Leyland PD2/20 bus 417 : Gorgie Depot : 1953/4
LFS 417 having a wash! One of the Leyland PD2/20s that replaced the bulk of the trams in the mid-1950s, 417 has the silver relief version of the castle used on the city crest - must dig mine out!
The photo shows the then new, in 1953, Dawson bus washing machine in Gorgie Depot as it was converted from tram to bus operation. The photo appeared in the Transport Department's annual report for 1953/54.
